No - all the projects I'm working on at the moment benefit from high code quality and maintainability. Either I'm being paid for them and want to deliver a good product, or if I'm giving them away I want them to be useful to other people long term and not a black mark on my github.

However, I've tried it a few times after getting stuck on a bug or approach to implementing a new feature. In all cases it was much faster than me at completely failing to solve the problem. (models: QWQ, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 3.7) For now I still find LLMs more useful as a sub-line autocomplete.

One vibe-y thing I have found to be handy is translating between languages. I had a project that needed some functions moved from Python to C and JS and Sonnet did a pretty good job of that. They only needed a few manual tweaks to iron out floating point issues.
